Give me strength. Thanks to Gerry for pointing us to the piece, it starts:
“A Church of England Archdeacon has called for ‘anti-whiteness’ and the ‘smashing of the patriarchy,’ but insisted that her statement did not mean that she is anti-white’ or ‘anti-men’.
The Ven Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, Archdeacon of Liverpool, said that after attending a conference on ‘whiteness’, she was prompted to reflect on race and gender.
The Archdeacon, who also runs a personal blog on topics of Christianity, history, feminism and poetry, concluded that ‘whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender.’
The statement was met with backlash from critics who branded the comment as ‘divisive’ and ‘alienating’.
Threlfall-Holmes insisted that her statement was ‘not anti-white, or anti-men’ but ‘anti-oppression’.”

Well to be fair there are many male CofE clerics including those at the “top” spouting much the same stuff. Its not hat I’m CofE, but it must affect numbers if the Clerics don’t appear to believe their own religion and apologise for it.

The Anglican church in England just like its counterpart the Episcopal church in the U.S. is dying a long, slow death. The fact that this institution has gone completely Woke, for many years now and is causing division, schisms, acrimony, splits, financial problems and empty pews and empty churches just seems completely lost of this institution. With their attendance so low I’m honestly wondering how they can keep the lights on and their churches heated! Women are very poor leaders and do nothing but alienate men!
